With Stephen Colbert as host for this year’s Emmy Awards, it was a safe bet that his opening monologue would get political — but no one could have predicted the cameo he pulled off.

After making a few jokes about President Trump, Colbert mused about how to accurately count this year’s Emmy ratings. He called upon an expert — former press secretary Sean Spicer — who drove onstage with a podium, à la Melissa McCarthy on Saturday Night Live.

“This will be the largest audience to witness an Emmys, period,” boasted Spicer — who was known for exaggerating the truth while working at the White House. “Both in person and around the world.” Colbert replied, “Wow, that really soothes my fragile ego,” and then bade farewell to “Melissa McCarthy.” After his big moment, it sounds like not many people rushed to congratulate Spicer — at least, if this tweet from Billy Eichner is any indication.
